Swirl Flow Meter

The HNF70 Vortex Precession Flowmeter is designed for precise gas flow measurement in industrial pipelines. By combining spiral guide vane technology with vortex precession frequency detection, it provides stable measurement performance across a wide flow range without being affected by gas density changes. Unlike traditional mechanical gas meters, the HNF70 contains no moving wear parts, making it particularly suitable for continuous operation in demanding industrial environments.
The meter integrates flow, temperature, and pressure measurement functions into a single device, enabling real-time compensation and direct display of standard flow, working flow, temperature, and pressure values. This reduces external instrumentation requirements and simplifies system integration.

Hongnuo (shenyang) General Machinery Co., Ltd. is one of the most reliable manufacturers and suppliers of swirl flow meter in China. Welcome to buy high quality swirl flow meter at competitive price from our factory. We also accept customized orders.

How Vortex Precession Works

 

 

Accurate Measurement Through Vortex Precession

As gas passes through the spiral guide vane, a stable rotating vortex is generated inside the flowmeter body.

The vortex undergoes secondary rotation within the expansion section, creating a precession frequency directly proportional to the gas flow rate. This frequency is detected and converted into a flow signal for accurate measurement.

Because the measurement principle relies on vortex frequency rather than mechanical movement, the system delivers stable performance with minimal wear.

 

Key Benefits

✓ No moving measuring components

✓ Stable signal generation

✓ Excellent repeatability

✓ Suitable for continuous gas monitoring

Specific Parameters

Value / Description

Measurement Principle

The vortex flow meter works based on the principle of precession. When gas flows through the vortex generator at the inlet of the flow meter, it is forced to rotate and form a vortex flow. This vortex flow accelerates in the Venturi tube-shaped measurement tube, with the vortex core (precession) precessing along the pipeline axis. The precession frequency is proportional to the volumetric flow rate of the fluid under working conditions. The built-in sensor detects this frequency signal, and integrated pressure and temperature sensors perform real-time compensation. The microprocessor directly calculates and outputs multi-parameter data such as standard volume flow rate and total volume.
